    Forests and Biodiversity cleaned biomass survey data 2013-2018
    (2021-02-12) Kothari, Shan; Montgomery, Rebecca A; Cavender-Bares, Jeannine; kotha020@umn.edu; Kothari, Shan; University of Minnesota Cavender-Bares Lab; University of Minnesota Montgomery Lab; Cedar Creek Ecosystem Science Reserve
    This dataset includes annual growth survey measurements from the Forests and Biodiversity 1 (e271) experiment at Cedar Creek Ecosystem Science Reserve in East Bethel, MN. The dataset also includes a script that allows users to reproduce the figures and statistics reported in the cited paper. This version of the dataset is specifically meant to support the inferences in that paper, rather than serving as the version of record. Please consult the Cedar Creek Data Catalog (https://www.cedarcreek.umn.edu/research/data) to find the authoritative version to be used for general purposes.

    Library Resources for Owners of Minnesota’s Private Woodlands
    (1991) Sandy, John H
    This publication describes the search process for finding information. A table shows the number of research papers published about common trees found in Minnesota forests. Guides users to major forestry collections in Minnesota. In addition, presents a bibliography of major forestry reference sources and lists books and other resources which are of high value for owners of private woodlands.

    Minnesota Harvester Handbook, First Edition
    (University of Minnesota Extension, 2013) Wilsey, David; Miedtke, Julie
    This resource -- developed by the University of Minnesota Extension with the help of a broad network of contributors -- demonstrates the breadth and diversity of useful natural resources found in and around the state's woodlands and forests throughout the year. Book features information divided into seasons: Spring (maple syrup, fiddlehead ferns, yellow morels), Summer (birch bark, multiple mushroom species, wild rice), Fall (balsam boughs, tree cones & seeds, pine, dogwood and fall mushrooms) and Winter (Basswood, Chaga and firewood). Book includes basic tenets of harvesting and helpful fact sheets on each species. Provides a point of entry to the world of natural resource gathering that can be used in conjunction with other plant identification resources.

    RECOVERY OF SEDIMENT CHARACTERISTICS IN MORAINE, HEADWATER STREAMS OF NORTHERN MINNESOTA AFTER FOREST HARVEST
    (2010) Merten, Eric, C.; Hemstad, Nathaniel, A.; Kolka, Randall, K.; Newman, Raymond, M.; Verry, Elon, S.; Vondracek, Bruce
    We investigated the recovery of sediment characteristics in four moraine, headwater streams in north-central Minnesota after forest harvest. We examined changes in fine sediment levels from 1997 (preharvest) to 2007 (10 years postharvest) at study plots with upland clear felling and riparian thinning, using canopy cover, proportion of unstable banks, surficial fine substrates, residual pool depth, and streambed depth of refusal as response variables. Basin-scale year effects were significant (p < 0.001) for all responses when evaluated by repeated-measures ANOVAs. Throughout the study area, unstable banks increased for several years postharvest, coinciding with an increase in windthrow and fine sediment. Increased unstable banks may have been caused by forest harvest equipment, increased windthrow and exposure of rootwads, or increased discharge and bank scour. Fine sediment in the channels did not recover by summer 2007, even though canopy cover and unstable banks had returned to 1997 levels. After several storm events in fall 2007, 10 years after the initial sediment input, fine sediment was flushed from the channels and returned to 1997 levels. Although our study design did not discern the source of the initial sediment inputs (e.g., forest harvest, road crossings, other natural causes), we have shown that moraine, headwater streams can require an extended period (up to 10 years) and enabling event (e.g., high storm flows) to recover from large inputs of fine sediment.
